TECHNICAL APPROACH TO SCOPE OF SERVICES
Grid Tree Pruning
Grid tree pruning is based on pruning in pre-designed districts, or grids on a set cycle and in its entirety. This includes pruning all trees (small, medium and large-sized.) Pruning will include structural pruning, crown raising, and slight crown cleaning in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards (Best Management Practices) and shall have no more than 15% of the live foliage removed at a given time.
Special Request Tree Pruning
Special Request Tree Pruning includes tree maintenance services on designated tree(s) as ordered by the City’s Arborist or designee. This category of pruning may include structural pruning, crown raising, crown cleaning and/or pruning to restore the crown. Whichever work type is ordered by the City, pruning will be performed in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards and the Best Management Practice, Tree Pruning Guidelines.
Pruning to reduce the tree’s crown (or Crown Reduction Pruning) may be performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that the overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight needs to be reduced. This type of prune is performed when the City’s primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and structure and will be charged at the Crew Rental rate as agreed upon by the City and WCA.
Tree and Stump Removal Operations
With a minimum of 48 hours advanced notice, WCA will inform Underground Service Alert of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. The removal process consists of lowering limbs delicately onto the ground to prevent any hardscape damage. Immediately following the removal, the stump will be ground down, if ordered to do so and with proper USA notification. Our standard stump grinder is the Vermeer SC802. This stump grinder is ideal for any size job and can be used to grade large stumps. We also use the Dosko SC69 stump grinders.
These are intended to remove tree stumps and exposed root systems close to ground level. Tree removal and stump removal are to be charged separately in accordance with the contract.
Crew Rental
Due to our vast amount of resources, including our specialty equipment and qualified personnel we are able to extend our commitment to our customers by providing various miscellaneous services outside of the most common tree maintenance services:
• Misc. use of aerial towers and cranes (including equipment rental) • Crown reduction
• Crown restoration
Emergency Response
We are prepared for emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. The toll free number is 866-LIMB-DOWN (866-546-2369). This number will be provided to the Agency, Police Department and/or Fire Department. Our emergency response team will do what is necessary to render the hazardous tree or tree-related condition safe until the following workday. 14 ATTACHMENT 3

Communication Systems
Our use of modern and reliable communication systems affect our daily job performance by increasing our efficiency. Management and Field Personnel utilize smart phones as both navigational and communication devices in the field. Smart phones have proven to be a convenient method to input data as related to tree inventories, daily work records, timesheets, photos, and billing information; eliminating the need to handwrite data and improving customer service by minimizing response time.
Permits and Licensing
WCA will procure a City Business License as necessary and any “no-fee” permits prior to commencement of work. Permits (i.e., encroachment, traffic control, etc.) requiring fees will be charged back to the Agency.

and bystanders.
Complaints & Damage
Resolution
Should there be any property
damage, we adhere to specific
procedures to resolve the problem.
The Foreman on the job site will notify
the resident and the Inspector immediately.
If the resident is not at home, then we will leave a WCA card with instructions to call our Claims Coordinator in our corporate office. The ultimate goal at each work site is to leave the property in the same condition as before we entered it. We will notify the Agency Representative immediately upon damage of private property including plans for corrective measures to take place within 48 hours.
Any activities found by the Agency to be unacceptable will be rectified immediately. All other complaints will be abated or resolved within twenty-four (24) hours of the occurrence. We have teams specifically assigned for handling damage to properties, both private and public. Through our communication system, we have the ability to dispatch either of these teams and have them respond immediately to the site for proper repair.
We pride ourselves on professional workmanship to avoid these types of incidents, however, should one occur, we take all appropriate measures to resolve the matter in a timely and efficient manner.
Protection of Public and Private Property
WCA will provide all safety measures necessary to protect the public and worker within the work area. We will maintain good public relations at all times. The work will be conducted in a manner which will cause the least disturbance.
